DotEurovision, December 15, The Republic of Armenia hopes to make its debut at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest.
Yesterday during the annual Armenian Music Awards, it was announced that the country has applied to be included in the 51st contest.
Earlier this month, Diana Mnatsakanyan, the Head of International Relations at the Public TV Company of Armenia confirmed that the broadcaster was interested in taking part next year. Today she commented, “We do have plans to participate, but it is not yet confirmed by EBU.”
Bjørn Erichsen, the Director of the EBU Television Department has previously voiced his support for their bid, saying, “We learned how important the Eurovision Song Contest was for Armenian TV. Besides the five hours of highly professional TV entertainment, this programme has a strong symbolic importance. To take part is to be a real and respected member of the live European TV family. And that is important in Armenia.”
